Who we are
The Thread has a mission to support the development of those who want to be the presence of love in the world. We want to live in a world where we build (and repair) relationships of solidarity, spiritually surrender, make space so we can show up messy and alive, and engage in meaningful ritual. With community as the container, we want to honor both ancient spiritual truths and practices while also honoring emerging truths and practices — all in service of building the courage needed to keep our hearts open in these times.
Things We Love
Interspirituality, Belonging, Activism, Spaciousness, Appreciation, Authenticity, Trustworthiness, somatic aliveness; the collective; solidarity and interconnection; earthy-ness; alleviation of unnecessary suffering; responsiveness to the moment; right relationship; healing/repair
Our Name
The Thread’s name was inspired by a William Stafford poem called “The Way It Is”:
“The Way It Is” by William Stafford
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
